Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
•Showtec Performer Profile 600 LED MKII
•PowerCON power cable (1,5 m)
•User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.
Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:
•be qualified
•follow the instructions of this manual

Shutters
The shutters are located inside the barrel. Move them back and forth to modify the shape of the beam.
Fig. 07
Drop-in Iris Slot
The Drop-in Iris slot is located on the top of the barrel. It accommodates either a drop-in iris or a
motorized pattern device. When the slot is not in use, a small sheet metal cover secured with 2 screws
prevents light leakage (Fig. 08).
01) Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-in iris slot cover. Do not remove the screws.
02) Slide the cover completely forward to expose the slot.
03) Insert the iris or motorized pattern device. For an iris, install the flat side towards the shutters and make
sure that the iris handle extends from the slot.
04) Slide the slot cover back towards the shutters, until it meets the iris handle. Leave enough space to
move the iris handle.
05) Secure the drop-in iris slot cover by tightening the screws.

Control Modes
There are 3 modes:
•Stand-alone (Run)
•Master/Slave
•DMX-512 (1CH, 2CH, 3CH)
One Performer (Run Mode)
01) Fasten the effect light to a firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
03) When the Performer is not connected with a DMX cable, it functions as a stand-alone device.
Please see page 23 for more information about the Run mode.
Multiple Performers (Master/Slave control)
01) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Use a 3-pin/5-pin XLR cable to connect the Performer.
The pins:
01) Earth
02) Signal -
03) Signal +
03) Link the units as shown in fig. 11. Connect the first unit's DMX "out" socket with the second unit's "in"
socket, using a DMX-signal cable. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.
You can use the same functions on the master device as described on page 23 (Run mode). This
means that you can set your desired operation mode on the master device and all slave devices
will react the same as the master device.

01) Fasten the effect light to a firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141).
03) Use a 3-pin/5-pin XLR cable to connect the Performers and other devices.
04) Link the units as shown in fig. 12. Connect the first unit's DMX "out" socket with the second unit's "in"
socket, using a DMX-signal cable. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.
05) Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's PowerCON socket, then plug
the other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the
first unit. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable,
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the Performer will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 3channels.
When using multiple Performers, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Performer should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Performer should be 1+3=4 (004); the DMX address of the third Performer should be 4+3=7 (007), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Performer
correctly. If two or more Performers are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Performer fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Performer will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED“ on the control panel will not flash.
If not, the problem may be:
•The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Performer Profile 600 LED
MKII.
•The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 30 seconds
When no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the MENU, UP, DOWN or ENTER button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
